Well today was Andrea's Day ..she won the award for Terrific Kid ( if you click on the picture it will go bigger and you can read what it says. They spelt out her name ..telling you a bit about a great girl. We are so proud of you Andrea ..keep up the good work.

And still another box ..these were given to me by Barry 's dad..him and I shared a great relationship ...I know he did not always do things the way people thought it should be done....but he tried to keep his kids and family together in hard times. These old lantern were used in a time where they would have a canary fly ahead ..and if it return great if not get out of the cave. They attached these lanterns to their helmets for light. They give off a very bright light ..we used them for camping for awhile ..boy are they bright. The way they worked was water and cobalt ..the two mixeng and producing acetaylene ..which was the light(dad I hope I ma getting this right) Barry's dad has passed on...but I know he is proud of his son's and daughters ..for they all have came along way. And yes Barry did follow in his dad's foot steps ..Barry is a millwright at Highland Valley Copper ..where Barry's dad was a foreman ..many years ago. Thanks for the little treasure you gave me so long ago .

Here again another day of going through some more boxes ...these dolls were made by Nancy Forsyth ... a lady ..who never stop giving ..loving and praying for her family..she is in Heaven now ..and I know she is still praying for the family. These dolls she made have been sent around the world with love and I think a prayer attached to each one. I know the girls had fun with the dolls ..GG(Nancy) had put elastic on the foot of the dolls so the kids could attached them around their feet and dance with them. We miss you dearly.(Thanks to barb for the elements used for this layout.)

Has I had said earlier my dear sis TAGGED me...so I am hoping the people I have picked will have fun with this oh yes my 5 weird things:

Well

Won't walk under a ladder.

Still at my age cover my eyes throught the scare parts of the movies.

I will not write on the back side of lined paper...just can seem to write or print neatly on that side of the paper.

Oh yes ..if I should spill the salt I still sprinkle salt three times over my left shoulder.

And funny this has stick with me since I was a kid ...stepping a cracks and breaking your mothers back.

so the people I am taggin are Alison , Kristin , Sharley , VJ's Scraproom , Scrapcat's Scrap Crap....I know I don't know you all but ..you seem to like to meet and have fun....and these are your rules: List 5 weird things about yourself or your pets. -- Tag 5 friends and list them. -- Those people need to write on their blogs about 5 weird things, and state the rules, and tag 5 more people. -- Don't forget to let the people you tag know by posting a comment on their blog!

Well at my doctor's the other day ..they had posted some foods and drinks with info on them this one was interesting:McDonald's Shakes: Mcdonald's triple thick shakes look like ordinary shake.You'd never guess that a large averages 1,120 calories and 28 grams of fat, 17 of them saturated.That's about the heart-slamming fat of 2 Quarter Pounders...nearly the calories of 3.Since when does a beverage supply half-a-days calories and close -to-a-day's work of artery gunk.So next time the kids ask for the shake...think about that.

boy it does not seem to stop ..we have gone from hardly no snow to all this. The pile of snow on the stove chimney ..is what has fallen in the last 24 hours. And it is still snowing lightly now. But the sun trying to come through.

Our little Melissa ..is learningto skate..this year the school has been taking the kids skating ...and even Papa got a pair of skates and has been out there to helping . She has gotten better with every trip to the rink. Papa and her go over on Sautrday for a couple of hours. Also with school she was able to go to Harper Mountain and learned to snowboard.

Well...hmmm...I have been tagged...by my sweet sister-in-law...this mean I must found five people to tag. When I found these five ...you have to write down 5 weird things about yourself or your pets ---tag 5 friends and list them ---Those people need to write on their blogs 5 weird things , and state the rules , and tag 5 more people. Don't forget to let the people you tag know by posting a comment on their blog!

So fellow...bloggers ..I hope the ones I pick will have fun with this...I will return with my list of 5 weird things and who I tagged.....hehehehe

(Jan 17,2007). Her mom and dad got to listen as this little sweetheart said her prayer and ask Jesus to come into her heart. We are so proud of you Jordana, we love you and we know the Lord loves you too.

Lord we pray your blessing on her and keep our granddaughter covered with your love.
